The Gantrex TrenchLok™ cable protection system is a solution that efficiently and economically protects your cranes’ power cables from damage and problems caused by crossing vehicles traffic in ports. Thanks to the Gantrex TrenchLok™ cable protection system, cables are sheltered against debris entering the trench and adverse weather conditions, whilst also removing tripping hazards for pedestrians.
The Gantrex TrenchLok™ cable protection system is easily adaptable for existing systems and is maintenance free. With two system designs available depending on the type of vehicles using your site: the TrenchLok™ and TrenchLok™ HD, Gantrex can provide a tested solution that will provide the correct level of protection on site. Comprising a cable trench cover, a continuous semi-flexible belt made of reinforced rubber and a cable steel channel, cast in the quay, the Gantrex Trenchlok™ system can be easily retrofit into an existing installation and where required our teams are able to design a customized solution answering all your needs.

As pioneers of the soft-mount crane rail solution, we have developed the Gantrex RailLok™ range, including the RailLok™ Clips and Pads. Two different RailLok™ Clips types are available to suit different fixing support: the weldable W and the boltable BG clips. The Gantrex RailLok™ clips improve the features of the previous generation of clips by ensuring self-contact between the rail and the clip, reducing the installation time by introducing impact wrenches mounting, and increasing the crane rail clips capacity to address ever growing crane loads.
Combined with the Gantrex RailLok™ clips, the Gantrex RailLok™ pads effectively reduces shocks and vibrations in the rail system. The RailLok™ Pads include continuous and discontinuous pads and can cover all rails profiles. The Gantrex RailLok™ Pad ensures the load distribution over a larger surface, eliminating the load concentration and reducing fatigue stresses.
Gantrex, with its global position and access to vast inventories of rail mills worldwide, ensures that you get the right rail for your crane track installation compatible with our Gantrex RailLok range. In addition, we can supply a large range of crane rails section (DIN, MRS, QU, KP, ISCR, North American profile) in all available grades (control cooled, head hardened, high carbon,…).
We offer technical expertise and engineering services for every stage of your crane rail track project. The range of services we provide ensures that we are your partner from concept to completion of your project and for ongoing maintenance and inspection.
We offer survey and inspection services including visual inspection and site surveys performed by our expert teams and resulting in detailed reports. As part of our design service, we can provide a full technical package for your crane rail system, including calculations reports and detailed customized drawings.
Our installation service covers both overhead and ground tracks, but also cable trench installation and trolley rail installation or replacement. Our installation teams cover the entire scope: from the preparation and installation of the tracks and geometrical alignment to customized product fitting. Our installation teams can also perform all your welding works, including arc welding, aluminothermic welding or flash butting welding, all performed by certified teams. We can also carry out maintenance and repair works on existing tracks: small joint and repairs, track realignment, track removal or complete track replacement.
And finally, we also offer supervision of track installation or maintenance, thanks to our experienced site managers and in-house specialised technicians.
